Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

Honestly that add is so pervasive. I'd want an oven that simple that cleans itself lol. But it's not cheap

I think i understand this now. Primož never wanted to leave Jumbo, but Lora (his wife) saw all this new shiny Bora kitchen appliances and demanded he moves to Bora Hansgrohe so she can get them for a good discount. They also promised to teach Primož how to cook and new Hansgrohe taps were offered under the table.

It was Lora all along!

Where's the child?!

Roglic is so weird in that he can look like he has a fat ass on the bike and then you put him in normal human clothes and he looks like Bonesy from anatomy practice.

I know the fact of Roglic being a former ski jumper has been brought up countless times, but it's really only when I see pictures like this when I truly realize it. Seeing him and Prevc just being old buddies still feels so surreal.

 

[how yes no?]

The subject is interesting with the side-by-side pictures with a ski jumper in what we can assume almost prime condition weight wise, having finished the career a month ago... because I remember Roglič being much happier with transition to cycling because as he said at the time "you don't have to care about eating too much"... but now he looks leaner than a ski jumper... poor Roglič, didn't know what he signed up for after all I guess.

I think he still eats a lot more than he used to, except now he burns much more calories on his typical training day than he did when he was a ski jumper. But yeah, he does look leaner than Prevc who won his last World Cup event a month ago, so he’s still as lean as they get…

 

[how yes no?]

I agree about him eating more, but I would still argue he got leaner with years in cycling.
Got no great pictures for illustration, but 2015-2016-... Roglič did not have "literal" holes below cheeks (even if he was never really "roundish").
He also did not struggle with the cold conditions as much in the early years.
I believe Roglič is going asymptotic to the limit this year with regards to such controllable aspects, and is if anything leaner then ever.
Not that I necessarily put too much value on one looking lean one way or another.

I'm actually a bit surprised that they're such a good buddies, as Prevc was in the Slovenia A teams ever since Vancouver 2010 while Roglic was...well, mostly in the CC team so I'd guess they hardly trained together, hence building a friendship looks strange but what do I know..

I've heard that recently retired Peter Prevc is considering cycling career. Primoz told him there are similarities (i.e. high-adrenaline moments in the air).

 

[Gargamel35]

I've met Prevc 2 weeks ago in a known pizza place in Slovenia so i'm sure he's working hard towards gaining more weight
As of Roglič, he said many times, he didn't like ski jumping, because you really need to eat a lot less, because you don't burn calories. He was hungry most of the time. In cycling, he can eat a lot more, because he burns calories.

nobody ever did. Those that encourage you to start: "You'd only need to train a couple of hours....it's enjoyable". They never mention that it was everyday, forever and doubly when the weather is crappy.
